May Allah have mercy on the souls of the three people fatally killed in the attack on the San Diego mosque.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

No one should ever feel unsafe in their place of worship, especially during sacred and holy days. Hatred and intolerance only breed fear and violence. We must stand together to condemn this attack and challenge anti-Muslim rhetoric wherever it exists.

Israeli police say a 36-year-old Jewish man has been arrested over this assault on a French nun in occupied East Jerusalem.

Video shows her being shoved to the ground and kicked, renewing concern over violence against Israel’s religious minorities.

Allah accepts the Du'a of those begging Him for their material needs. Why would Allah then not respond to those asking Him for their spiritual and afterlife needs?

DU'A OF PROPHET YUNUS

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
(Surah al-Anbiya 21:87)

No worry is too great for Allah to remove when we call upon Him sincerely with the above words.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

Not having problems others do is also a blessing. Be thankful for that too.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

Many read the Qur’an with their eyes alone, but few truly recite it with their hearts.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

The following five values are essential for self-reform according to the Qur'an:
1. Remembering Allah (Dhikr)
2. Gratitude (Shukr)
3. Patience (Sabr)
4. Supplication (Du'a)
5. Respecting the symbols of Allah (ta'dhim sha'air Allah)

@jalalayn Allah grant her al-Firdaws and you strength in this difficult time of grieving.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

The story of Prophet Musa, his people, and the Pharaoh is the most repeated story in the Qur'an. This is because the Pharaoh exists in every era. But for every Pharaoh, there is also a Moses. As was the fate of that Pharaoh, so shall be the end of every other Pharaoh.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

Be grateful for whatever portion of the Qur'an is in your heart and continue to memorise. You have the Word of Allah in your heart. Many people may not trust you with trivial materialistic things but the Almighty trusts you with His Speech and is happy for your heart to have it.

"If the night of Friday coincides with an odd night, it is more hopeful than others to be the Night of Qadr" (Lataif al-Ma'arif, Ibn Rajab).

Tonight is the 21st night and the night of Jumu'ah.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

The tongue that recites a lot of Qur'an in Ramadan should also fast from the sins of the tongue: swearing, lying, cursing, vulgarity, deceit, false promises, backbiting, name-calling, mocking, accusing, spreading rumours, speaking ill of others, and unnecessary argumentation.

Madinah is unique in that it has two moons. One in the atmosphere above, and the other (ﷺ) below in the ground.

Allah bless us all with visiting repeatedly, praying in the Prophet's Masjid, and giving him Salaam in person. He hears your voice and replies!

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

On this blessed night of Jumu'ah, spare a prayer for the oppressed worldwide.

May Allah remove their suffering and grant them justice in this life and the next.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

If your parents are alive, don't wait for the day you are "standing on your own feet", have time and money to take care of them. You can honour, respect, and make them feel special without any of these. They happily sacrificed their time, money, energy, and their lives for us.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

It's the night of Jumu'ah and that means lots of Salawat & Salam for our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and Du'a for his Ummah.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

Muslim parents should not be encouraging and allowing their children to participate in any Halloween related activities, especially trick or treating. It is not harmless fun. There are other Halal ways of having fun and entertaining our children.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

Du'a request for our teacher, Qari Ismaeel Desai Soofie (Umzinto), who passed away yesterday in South Africa.

Allah accept Shaykh's services for Islam, forgive his shortcomings, bless him with Jannah al-Firdaws, and grant beautiful patience to his family and students.

[Mahmood Hasan Koli @MahmoodHasanK]

As there were Munafiqun (hypocrites) during the golden period of Islam, the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah, they exist today as well, busy and thriving doing what they do best.
